Chassis Maintenance
Inside Out Park Homes can provide Under Chassis Maintenance services, which begin with a complete inspection of the under chassis of your park home. Being so close to the ground, the under chassis is open to the elements as well as any build up of snow, mud or potential flooding. Being made of steel, without adequate protection, the steel frame can corrode and rust, making it brittle and prone to cracking or buckling under the weight of the Park Home and it’s contents.
